It's supposed to be like that, see data/pic/KY_ADS5.jpg if you want to add your own advertising

Quote from AstroBoy :

Has next seasons schedule been released yet? Or still to early?

No, but there's a forum for discussions.

Use the MX-5 Roadster, it's faster. Ignore D class cars until next season, run the SRF and Solstice, as well as the MX-5 at Okayama, also do some Legends - plenty for you to race without buying anything. SR is how safe you are, iRating is how good you are basically. You start with 1300 iR so at least you've gone up

Some guy had the same name as me before I joined, he was a bit shit so just as well he's stopped playing - but now I have a "2" after my name

Then just race the two rookie series and save up some money for the Skippy/couple of tracks. Master the SRF and it'll help you a lot.

Road Atlanta.

Doing that in iRacing with the V8 just now, I'll say negative ghostrider.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

But I clearly agree on the LMS licensing thing anyway, I hope it's not gonna end up with 80% of the field taking the fastest car, like in the Grand-Am Series.

Problem with Grand-Am is that people moving up from D want to make that step up, probably having already done the Mustang in class D, so go for the DP. Then you have the fast guys obviously wanting the faster class glory. Also the DP used to be a class A and then B car, now class C, means some people aren't ready for it, so aren't too good with the multi-class thing. Then the slowness of the Mustang compared to the DP also adds to the chances of being raped by a DP, so it does put a lot of people off it

Hopefully (A)LMS being class B, and the cars being closer together will help, and the fact that the slowest car is new so people will want to try it.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Not selling licences to people with less than half grown brains?

Then our OP here wouldn't have S2

Come join us, we have cookies err setups (Mikko ate the cookies)

Would be cool if we could have all of the colours and select them via the tyre manufacturers

Well it's been a month since we did the test rally, and I said we'd have round 1 in June - unlikely given we have 1 more day left! The timeslot seemed to work well though, so we'll keep the same one. Next Sunday is OWRL, so we'll probably have it the weekend after, Sunday 10th July, and it will be the Rally of South City

Any other comments welcome

If you run the code in a separate php file, and echo $rid_string, don't you get this?

Quote from StableX :

yup... I think that's the plan.....

Yes, because they all run in the same class in real life :rolleyes:

Fail, now done :doh:

Maybe make a demo of this available somewhere for us to try

Quote from Tony Gardner :

To try and stop the speculation and rumors, neither are that close to being done unfortunately, again big projects and other things in this build took longer than expected like heat racing and pop-up chat so I would NOT expect endurance racing/driver swaps and uppgraded sound system anytime before the build after this 2.0 build, so we are talking about the Fall. Our apologies.

:doh::doh:

Quote from EQ Worry :

These are A11, A12, A13, A21, A22, A23, B11, F11, K31, K32 plus all their reversed versions. To check layout, I intend to hard-code the positions of check points (splits) that must match with expectation. So the positions of split lines and finish line have to be correct and never changed.

To be extra sure I think also route checkers could be used? I do not have much experience with layouts, but if the route checkers are placed on some suitable places between checkpoints, Airio could also verify these and make extra sure the layout/track is valid. So I would suggest adding route checkers after every crossroad. Signs showing where to turn next and how far it is would be great to have for better orientation.

Then there's the question on B23 and B23R.

Added the aforementioned layouts to this post, we'll have more of them soon. Now that we can select groups of objects and transfer them between layouts, we shouldn't have to do the old copy layout, rename and flip splits trick

Route checkers, hmm, well generally the splits and the objects do a good enough job of keeping people on the right track, and the problem is people would be spectated for taking the wrong route instead of having the chance to correct their mistake. Personally we'd rather route checkers were left to individual admins if they felt like they were needed.

As for B23/R - ok they perhaps are not something to be used for too long on a server - we had them in 3 lap races, but that was without the barriers around the lake so people would fall off there. They are still good fun though, if an admin is online to watch out for people exiting the pits. Meh, if you can do it, fine, but don't worry too much about it.

Quote from EQ Worry :

My question is: Can I include the supported layouts directly in Airio distribution (with appropriate info), or would you people working on the layouts prefer just a link to this thread? If they can be distributed, the layouts will have simple names such as A23.lyt or K32R.lyt for much easier loading.

Fine by us to remove the names - but we'll still keep the names on the layouts in this thread if that's alright?

Just FYI, we are and we have been working on it, will have those ones you mentioned to you very soon

My pb is a 1:01.714. u mad?

Enable forced cockpit view or select an open config.

Attached updated Blackwood and Kyoto layouts with the new patch - added marker boards, pit speed signs, fixed a split, etc. - have a look and see if there's anything I've missed or suggest additions.
